Hypothyroid

I thought i was having ppd symptoms, because i was so fatigued, anxious, moody etc... Had my thyroid tested and found out today thats its underactive. I guess pregnancy hormones can mess with your thyroid. Its easily treatable, but cannot be cured and i will have to take meds for the rest of my life most likely. Anyone else here have a thyroid condition? How do you feel on meds? Did you have to make any lifestyle changes?

My thyroid was completely destroyed by a virus (who knew) for 2 years I went to doc after doc no one ever tested me because I was so skinny (typically people have weight gain) . I felt awful soooo unbelievably tired , thought I was literally going crazy. Anywhosies ... 6 years later I'm on synthyroid 1mg.. I have had 3 children and prego with #4 , every pregnancy my levels change ... I know the feeling of low level now ... I try to eat a balanced meal (kinda hard with 3 kids under 4 lol) and get enough sleep. But being tested regularly is key!!! Also have your iron checked because low iron and thyroid issues go hand in hand ... Ttyl take care!!!!

I've had it for 4 years now. I could not get out of my own way before I started my medicine. I was gaining weight even though I was constantly working out and watching what I ate. I was also constantly freezing and my hair was falling out in mass amounts. I started armour. I'm now doing an armor compound at 90mg. I need to get my bloodwork run again as I'm feelin low again. It's that or my mono is back. Ugh! (I've now had mono 3 times in the same time frame- talk about exhausted) when I'm on the correct dosage it's night and day difference. My dr also said take an iron supplement. He said it can't hurt, but iron helps transport and convert your thyroid hormones.

I've had hypothyroid since I was 6yrs old so I know the routine when it comes to feeling fatigue. Although this is a rare condition for the child, I was still able to do the same things that any other kids would do. But now that I'm getting older and pregnant (with my first one) it's a totally different feeling. I'm about in my second trimester and so far so good. As long as you eat right, take your vitamins, and exercise you'll be just like everybody else. But if you need to rest....then REST! You might want to discuss your doctor about your dosage on your medicine. As time goes on, your levels might change which could effect not only your performance but the baby as well. Just make sure you get tested regularly and stay healthy. Other than that, you're all set and ready to deliver.

I have hypothyroidism an hashimoto's as well. It can take a few months for your body to adjust to the medication dosages so don't give up hope. Your dr knows best so don't get too impatient. Once you get on a dosage that works though, you should see most of your symptoms go away :)
